5 Ways BIM Can Help Contractors and Sub-Contractors

BIM offers a wealth of benefits to contractors and subcontractors. By providing access to real-time project information, it can help them optimize all tasks, from budget allocations, material procurement, site planning, quality control, and site safety.

How to Interpret Digital Delivery Requirements as a Contractor

Digital led delivery promotes the centralization of information, typically through BIM processes, so that the contractor is always up to date with the live project data – streamlining construction planning and execution.

How Government Mandated BIM Standards are Being Applied to Projects

Building Information Modelling (BIM) facilitates more productive methods of planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle. BIM enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to support decision making.

How can the modularized construction seen on remote worksites be applied to easily accessible sites, and to what benefit?

Modularized construction offers a range of benefits, particularly when compared to traditional construction methodologies. This is especially true when optimized and delivered in conjunction with BIM and digital engineering.

5 Trends We Expect to See in the Global Construction Industry

With trends like the adoption of technology, a greater emphasis on circular economy solutions and diversification of hiring criteria, the global construction industry is poised for growth. Here are 5 trends we expect to see in the global construction industry.

Ensure Your Digital Engineering Strategy Succeeds : Engage a Nimble Advisory Firm

Discover how nimble advisory firms play a crucial role in ensuring a successful digital engineering strategy, managing assets from inception to end-of-life.

How Design Assist Can Speed Up Steel Design and Construction

Design Integration helps bridge the gap between design and construction. Collaborative early engagement methodologies like Design Assist, Design Integration or Integrated Project Delivery help ensure scheduling certainty in a relatively short span of time.

How High-Quality Construction Modeling and Detailing Can Help De-Risk a Project

Construction modeling can assist a project to move more quickly from the conceptual phase to fabrication drawings.

5 Key Criteria for Selecting a Modeling and Detailing Partner for Your Complex Project

Iconic sporting stadiums, convention centers and entertainment districts are complex. The design, construction and ongoing management of these assets needs a holistic, collaborative approach to ensure that competing demands—from aesthetics, functionality, and construction cost, through to sustainability and ongoing management—are realized.

The Problem with Digital Engineering

Digital engineering should always involve managing the digital asset from initial scoping, right through to the end of the asset lifecycle.

Why Healthcare Projects Need an LOD 350 Model at a Minimum

the LOD framework clearly defines the development stages within BIM. It helps facilitate clear communication between architects, engineers, contractors, fabricators and asset managers—for accurate scheduling and procurement, faster construction, and reduced costs.
